Next, FIG. 8 shows an example in which the anti-parallel thyristor ignition circuit of the present invention capable of monitoring thyristor failure shown in FIG. 7 is applied to an AC power device, and FIG. 9 shows the operating waveforms of each part thereof. In the operation waveforms of each part shown in Fig. 9, waveform A is the main thyristor TH1,
The voltage of TH2, waveform B is the main thyristor TH3,
The voltage of TH4, waveforms C, D, E, F are the main thyristors TH1, TH3, TH2 and
The gate pulse applied to TH4 and the waveform G indicate the waveforms of the monitoring current flowing through the light emitting diode LED1. Also, among the numbers added to each gate pulse of waveforms C to F, 1 and 2 indicate the gate pulses applied from the pulse transformers PT1 and PT2, respectively, and 3 indicates the self-ignition circuit ST
1 indicates a gate pulse that is activated and applied. Note that the illustrated operating waveform is an example of a case where short-circuit damage occurs in main thyristor TH3 or TH4.
Alternatively, since the voltage of TH4 is zero, even if an attempt is made to fire the main thyristor TH1 during a period when the main thyristor TH1 has a forward voltage, a gate pulse cannot be applied via the pulse transformer PT1. Therefore, the main thyristor TH1
In this case, the applied voltage jumps because the other series main thyristor TH3 is fired, but the self-ignition circuit ST1 operates and is protected from overvoltage application. At that time, no current flows through the photo-assisted thyristor PTH1, and therefore the light-emitting diode LED
No current flows to 1. i.e. the main thyristor
If a failure occurs in TH3 or TH4,
Immediately after the ignition optical signal is applied to the optically auxiliary thyristor PTH1 during the period when the main thyristors TH1 and TH3 are at forward voltage, the monitoring optical signal from the light emitting diode LED1 cannot be obtained, and therefore the main This means that a failure of thyristor TH3 or TH4 can be detected.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the diodes D1 and D inserted in the optically auxiliary thyristor firing circuit provided in the anti-parallel thyristor rectifier circuit
2, the main thyristor TH1, TH2 or
Since only the voltage for one element of TH3 and TH4 is applied to the ignition optical auxiliary thyristor, there is no need for a high voltage auxiliary thyristor, reducing the number of parts used in the ignition circuit and simplifying its configuration. It is possible to reduce the cost and improve the reliability of the device. Furthermore, regarding monitoring of the occurrence of a failure in the main thyristor, it is no longer necessary to provide a separate monitoring means for the main thyristor, and it is now possible to monitor the current of one optical auxiliary thyristor that is common to the four main thyristors connected in two series and anti-parallel. Moreover, since the current flowing through the optically auxiliary thyristor is a narrow pulse current, the current flowing through the light emitting diode for current monitoring is also a pulse current, and the light emitting diode's responsibility is In addition, the reliability of the failure occurrence monitoring means can be improved and its lifespan can be extended.
